Preview thumbnail for Thrift shop finds! I went to my usual thrift shop which told me they had "Japanese flip flops". I ended up getting this plus a box with a male kuromontsuki with a matching black hakama and obi (no haori tho) and there were these two long somethings I have no idea what they are and a small booklet. image

Preview thumbnail for I have a love/hate relationship with local thrift shops in our place. They would usually give me a heads up when they get kimono but the problem is they use the same word for everything from juban to uchikake, they call it kimono. Then I found this beauty <3 image

Preview thumbnail for A long time ago, so long that I have no idea about rules, this was my favorite kimono. A black female Odori with orange phoenixes. When I got it around 2009, it was already ridden with a few holes on the hem and had loose stitching. Didn't care though, it was mine and i Loved it. image
